Rules  for  the  Management  and  Care  of  Steam  Boilers,  as 
adopted  by  the  Hartford  Steam  Boiler  Inspection 
and  Insurance  Company. 

1.  Condition  of  M^ater.— The  first  duty  of  an  Engineer,  when  he  enters 
his  boiler-room  in  the  morning,  is  to  ascertain  how  many  gauges  of  water 
there  are  in  his  boilers.  Never  unbank  nor  replenish  the  fires  until  this  is  done. 
Accidents  have  occurred,  and  many  boilers  have  been  entirely  ruined  from 
neglect  of  this  precaution. 

2.  Low  Water. — In  case  of  low  water,  immediately  cover  the  fires  with 
ashes,  or,  if  no  ashes  are  at  hand,  use  fresh  coal.  Don’t  turn  on  the  feed  un¬ 
der  any  circumstances,  nor  tamper  with,  or  open  the  safety-valve.  Let  the 
steam  outlets  remain  as  they  are. 

3.  In  Cases  or  Foaming. — Close  throttle,  and  keep  closed  long  enough  to 
show  true  level  of  water.  If  that  level  is  sufficiently  high,  feeding  and 
blowing  will  usually  suffice  to  correct  the  evil.  In  case  of  violent  foaming, 
caused  by  dirty  water,  or  change  from  salt  to  fresh,  or  vice  versa,  in  addition 
to  the  action  above  stated,  check  draft  and  cover  fires  with  fresh  coal. 

4.  Leaks. — When  leaks  are  discovered  they  should  be  repaired  as  soon  as 
possible. 

5.  Blowing  Off. — Blow  down,  under  a  pressure  not  exceeding  10  lbs. 
W^here  surface  blow-cocks  are  used,  they  should  be  often  opened  for  a  few 
moments  at  a  time.  The  blow-off  valve  should  be  opened  wide  once  a  day, 
oftener  if  the  water  contains  much  sediment.  The  time  required  to  open 
wide  and  close  the  valve  is  long  enough. 

6.  Filling  up  the  Boiler. — After  blowing  down  allow  the  boiler  to  become 
cool  before  filling  again.  Cold  water,  pumped  into  hot  boilers,  is  very  injuri¬ 
ous  from  sudden  contraction. 

7.  Exterior  of  Boiler. — Care  should  be  taken  that  no  water  comes  in 
contact  with  the  exterior  of  the  boiler,  either  from  leaky  joints  or  other  causes. 

8.  Removing  Deposit  and  Sediment. — In  tubular  boilers  the  hand-holes 
should  be  often  opened,  and  all  collections  removed  from  over  the  fire.  Also, 
when  boilers  are  fed  in  front  and  blown  off  through  the  same  pipe,  the  col¬ 
lection  of  mud  or  sediment  in  the  rear  end  should  often  be  removed. 

9.  Safety-Valves.— Raise  the  safety-valves  cautiously  and  frequently,  as 
they  are  liable  to  become  fast  in  their  seats,  and  useless  for  the  purpose  in¬ 
tended. 

10.  Safety-Valves  and  Pressure-Gauge.— Should  the  gauge  at  any  time 
indicate  the  limit  of  pressure  aliowed,  see  that  the  safety-valves  are  blowing  off. 

11.  Gauge-Cocks.  Glass  Gauge.— Keep  gauge-cocks  clear,  and  in  con¬ 
stant  use.  Glass  gauges  should  not  be  relied  on  altogether. 

12.  Blisters. — When  a  blister  appears  there  must  be  no  delay  in  having  it 
carefully  examined,  and  trimmed  or  patched  as  the  case  may  require.^ 

13.  Clean  Sheets. — Particular  care  should  be  taken  to  keep  sheets  and 
parts  of  boilers  exposed  to  the  fire  perfectly  clean;  also,  all  tubes,  flues,  and 
connections  well  swept.  This  is  particularly  necessary  where  wood  or  soft 
coal  is  used  for  fuel. 

14.  General  Care  of  Boilers  and  Connections. — Under  all  circumstan¬ 
ces  keep  the  gauges,  cocks,  etc.,  clean  and  in  good  order,  and  things  generally 
in  and  about  the  engine  and  boiler-room  in  a  neat  condition.
